A BOLD ATTEMPT AT TRAIN ROBBERY
IN TEXAS.
Tho Two Robbers Killed by tho Expires,
Messenger-A Gang of Wegt virginia
Outlaws Broken mp by the Vist-
lance Committee.

Ell pAsO, Tex, Oct. 1G-The Galveston,
Har1isburgh and san Antonio express,
which should have started east Friday at
$3.50 p. M, was delayed till about $50,
waiting far the Southern Pacific train
from the West Engineer Lohrer says
when the train had gone about mile two
men wearing cloth masks came over the
tender with Il revolver In each hand. The
engineer tried to stop the train, but the
men ordered him to run on to curve and
to stop quick. When they reached the
curve they ordered him and the fireman
to get off the engine and take them to the
express car. In the meantime they were
firing OF their revolvers, shouting ana
cursiug. Reaching the express car, one
threw dynamite bomb against the
front door the explosion knocked a
large hole in the door and broke
out the glass in tie other doors.
The robbers called to the express
messenger to come out, With the
messenger, !. 4. Smith, was J. II. Boards
lv a clerk in Wells, Fargo Il Co, IS Office
at Fort Worth. When they heard the
firing they put out the lights and went 10
the rear of the car. At the command Oh
the robbers they came out smith leaving
q revolver luSJ Inside lnt uOOI' iht i''
bsrs ordered them to hold up their hands
and then searched them. Smith was or
dered to 90 back into the car and to light
the lamps. He climbed back foremost aud
a robber followed. Smith seized the pistol,
placed it almost against the robbers
breast and fired, sending bullet throu sh
his heart. The rob Der fell dead, but fired
twice at Smith while falling. ; NTH
and the other robber also exchanged saots
with him. The robber then attempted to
get his comrades body on the engine. He
intended to uncouple IT from the train and
run on, but while trying to lit the boiy
the messenger got Il double barreled shot
gun and shot at him; the robOer sank and
then sprang up aud ran out slight ais
lance.
The train returned to the city, the ex.
press car was repaired and the train went
on, Messenger Smith remaining in the
city. Deputy Marshals Van Ripper and
Roper secured three experienced Mexican
trailers and had them at the scene before
day light. City Marshal Wyatt and other
officers were also on the ground. Less
| than so yards from where shot lay the
second robber dead. An examination
| showed that only one buckshot had struck
! him, which had entered the front size of
the left shoulder and cut an artery just
above the heart. The theory IS that the
| pals of the two men were waiting with
| horses a little beyond where the tram was
| held up.

SEED SOW.ERS.
lHead by MI. NJ. E. Pabor before the Denver Yress
Conventional

A sower sowed a seed!
And a bird came from the North,
Where the snow and the storm drift fort Ii.
1t carried the seed afar
Till it crossed a harbor bar;
On u little neck OF land.
1t sank in the soft warm sand;
When tho winter rolled away
And the world was in its May
Then the little seed was stirred
By the sound of the mystic word
Ofnature and from its sleep
In tho silence, dark and deep
It rose to the light Of air
And the glory Everywhere.
Soon the slender stalk Of green,
With its soft and silken sheen,
In the light of SUI and moon
Grew tall in the suns OF June.
Then Time to the harvest rolled,
When the green was changed to gold;
And the ripened ivory grain,
Was heaped on the loaded vain,
And the round moon earthward hung,
Whito the harvest song was sung.
TO the tread of dancing feet,
For the blessed gift OF wheat,
And 10 the voice of the bird was heard,
Saying, it is with tho written word
AS with the seed because each survives
For the veal or woe OF human lives.
The seed and the written word are one:
And through the eternal ages run.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1887-10-29

A sower sowed seed!
And bird came from the East,
Like victor from a feast.
It took up tho tiny seed
And hurried away with speed,
Till, reaching the waters edge
In The murnlur OF the bay,
Through the silence and dark, it lay
Till the mystic voice was heard
And tho soul of the seed was stirred.
The sun, in its passing, kist
Its slender shape; and tho mist
Swept slowly over the moon
Through the suitry heats Of June.
When the bright suns tropic rays
Lay warm on September days
The fruit of the vine was pressed,
And tue heart of mon were blessed,
As they drank the rich juice, rcd,
By the pulp of purple shed.
And song OF praise was heard
AS the souls Of men were stirred,
In the glades where pines arise
Under bleak New England's skies;
In tho groves where graceful palms
Rise through Acadian calms;
In the hills whore pinion grows
In tho heart of mountain SHOWS;
In the land where cedars loom
Through Alaskan woods Of gloom,
Under tho poles, or the limos
Which the Equinox defines;
southern cross or Northern star
Or wherever vineyards are,
The aroma of tho vino,
Lingers under palm or Pine.
Again the voice OF the bird was heard,
saying, it is with the written word.
AS with this seed because each survives
For the veal or woe of human lives.
The seed and the written word arc one,
And through tho eternal ages run.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1887-10-29

A sowor sowed seed!
And bird came from the West!
From the mountains g snow crowned cres!
1t carried the seed away
Over river and lake and bay;
Over the prairies vague and vast,
Eagerly it hurried past;
Over peaks of snow it went,
Till at last its strength WAS spent;
When 1t dropped its treasure rare
In the mould, with loving caro-.
Silent lay tho seed till spring
Warmth of light and air did bring,
Whom it burst its shrowd at length
Summers came and summers sped
Year by year the winter shed,
Storm of rain and hail and snow
Where the stately cedars grow;
Still tho trees its branches spread;
Bid and bee were to it led;
In the shadow of it's breast
Weary travellers found a rest;
Rest and respite and repose
Where the cedar branches rose.
Again tho voice of tho bird was heard,
Saying, il is the written word,
AS with this seed; because each survives
For the veal or woe of human lives.
The seed and the written word arc one,
And through the eternal ages run.
Brothers, words of ours are seeds;
Seeds oftlowers, grain or weeds;
East and West. North and South,
Birds of passage bear them forth,
Dropping them in mellow mould,
In the hearts of young and old;
Where they fall, but not in vain;
Where they sink, but rise again
To life's sunshine and its air.
For delight or for despair,
Wise are they, whose written speech,
Down the lines of mercy reach;
Wiser still, whose gracious thought
From the shrine of faith is caught
Wiser ones than all, are they
Who the law of love obey;
In whose words there lies no sting
n,,I. I, !, Of ~ l.
VOID by word and limo by line,
Sowing seeds of tree and vino
Till they their glad harvest yield
In the editorial field.

A sower sowed seed!
And a bird came from tho south,
From the rivers surginG mouth.
1t carried tho seed away
To an isle like fair Cathay,
And it lay where roses rest
On Natures passionate breast.
The odorous gales swept by
And clouds in the deep blue sky
Moved over the isle of flowers;
It's lingering, languorous hours
Were bathed in tropical balm,
Were full of amorous calm.
But the seed took root, and grew
In the sun, the dark, the dew,
Till its branches rose in air
And its golden fruit was fair
TO the eye and sweet on the tongue
OF the old and the young.
Bride, at altar bowling down
From its blossoms wore a crown,
White and pure, to grace her brow
AS she spoke her marriage vow;
And the song Of tho Nightingale
AS it swept the perfumed vale
Was of the orange flower alone,
The only emblem Love. will own,
Once moro the voice of the bird was heard
Saying, it is with the written word
AS with this seed because each survives
For the veal or Voc of human lives,
The seed and tho written word arc one
And through the eternal ages run.

Testimony Before the Senate Committee.
Senator French. chairman of the Senate in
vestigating committee, was the only member
present at the meeting yesterday afternoon. but
along towards the end, the aesthetic figure of
Tomtit Bailey ambled in and fred a few desul-
tory questions at DR. Fletcher, who was then on
the stand. Charles c. Roth, the assistant store
keeper, was the first witness examined, and his
testimony was substantially the same as that
given previously before the House committee
He remembered three times when maggoty
butter was served. 4. 600 pounds in all, lie had
made, at the suggestion of DR.. Fletcher a writ
ten protest At times he had reported bad sup
plies to DR.. Fletcher, who did not always reject
them.
DR.: W. B. Fletcher was then called, and iden.
titled number of ward reports for August
1856. which were read by Mr. Rowland and
which contained the daily report of bad butter
from each ward during that month. DR..
Fletcher's testimony did not differ from that
given before the House committee previously
He testified in regard TO the manner of making
the appointments at the hospital, which were
all to be made. according to law by himself
though practically. such was not the case. He
did not regard Store-kee Hail a competent
official. but could not discharge him, as that
would have brought him into conflict with the
board. In regard to the political influence
brought to bear upon the appointments. Mr..
